On January 21, 2018, a fire destroyed the home of Alicia Muscatiello and her fiancé John Spicola. Thankfully, the couple was out at the time of the fire and their dog, Bruin, was rescued by a neighbor. An electrical issue is the most likely cause of the fire. The home suffered complete fire and water damage, and is a total loss.

Alicia, John, and Bruin have nothing left other than the items they had with them that day. They are staying with family who live close by, but Alicia and John have no clothing, shoes, or household items left. Bruin is without his balls and favorite stuffed pig.
